Hey! I just caught the Toronto Foos show (which was perfect) and Nate who is usually just a P bass guy, was playing a jazz, rickenbacker and jack casady epiphone bass. All sounded cool, the rick was my favorite, Im excited to see what basses he will use on new recordings now!

Hey Ive been listening to Zeppelin II for the past few weeks and Jones' tones are just amazing. I know he uses a jazz with flats through an acoustic amp (fairly easy tone to replicate) but in all the live videos I see he's playing with his right hand right over the end of the neck. Any time I...

Hey, I was trying to find a song with a cool bassline to learn today and thought it would be cool if we had a post where people could give a daily bassline. I'll start with the tune I just learnt: "White Room" by Cream. Everyday someone should just post a song with a cool bassline.

Hello So I just bought Cc and I tried one out in the store and it sounded great. Perfect for what I needed. When I bought one they gave me a brand new one in a box. When I got home though and tried to use it I noticed it dosent really do anything. I can, at most hear one very quiet repeat and...

Hey I was wondering, what if fender were to put bound and blocked necks on their american standard line of jazz bass like they did in the 70s. Maybe even do it to the p basses? Would you guys like to see it? Would you buy one?

I bet you guys have never herd this question before! :) Anyways I'm really into players like Jack Bruce, Jack Lawrence, JPJ, John Deacon and Duck Dunn. I know they all use flats, but what gauge is best? LaBellas seem to have a good following so I think I'll be going with them, but should I...

So last November I bought a bass from a friend at work for $50 (I think :P). Anyways it's taken awhile to finish because, well sometimes it can be rather dire. Also I must admit I'm not one to focus on details, and don't really get bothered by small imperfections, so I didn't really do a...

Hello Guys! I've started a bass build out of some parts and a cheap bass I found online. I was thinking it might be cool to have a bound neck. Is there a way I could apply binding to a completed neck? I'm really not sure how I would go about it. Is there a way I could shim down the sides of the...

Hey guys I recently upgraded my mim p with a badass ii and a seymor duncun qp, and it sounds fantastic clean and with a little dirt. I enjoy using it with a pick to get some crunchy punk tones, but lately when i try to get more of a beefy fuzzy tone it sounds to messy and the lower notes seem...

Hey guys!!!! So I've started a project bass build out of a cheapo bass i bought off a friend. The plan is to make it fretless, but i'd like to do some other mods too. Its a passive bass and i was thinking it might be cool to put an active preamp in it just to spruce it up a bit. Its got a p/j...
